Pacific War Podcast 🎙️The Firebombing of Japan with Dave from the Cold War Channel

This Podcast covers the firebombing campaign against Japan during the Pacific War and how it evolved during the Cold War

What was the firebombing campaign against the Japanese home islands during the Pacific War? When did the firebombing start, how did it end? How effective was the firebombing campaign versus other strategies adopting by the allies such as sea mining, targeting of Japan's merchant shipping, the USSR's invasion of Manchuria and the two atomic bomb attacks against Hiroshima and Nagasaki? What was the rationale of firebombing the Japanese home islands? Was it morally right to do? Who was Curtis LeMay and how did he take what he learnt during the War in Europe and Pacific War onwards into the Cold War? How did firebombing become strategic bombing post WW2?

In this podcast we are talking with Dave of @TheColdWarTV channel. The Pacific War and Cold War share a lot of similarities and in many ways can be seen as an extension of another. The Pacific War ushering in the atomic age of the Cold War and there are many who argue the first shots of the Cold War were the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
